Around The World Alone — On A Bicycle.
/0 Comments/in North America, Podcasts, South America, Travelogue, USA /by allanOk. So you know I traveled around the world for three years alone—on a motorcycle. And I really didn’t see everything. There are still plenty of places waiting for my visit. Or at least I’d like to think so. Truth is, there are a lot of places I’m waiting to visit. But that’s besides the […]

/5 Comments/in Africa, Brazil, South America, Tanzania, Travelogue /by allanLast week I was discussing an upcoming speaking engagement with a client when the topic transitioned to my presentation and how I could help my client with my speech to my real-life experiences on the road.

Without an accurate GPS position and useless GPS maps, Raff […]

Tara, Gary and I throttled our rented Buick SUV down the pavement while Raff, Bill, Tommy and the […]
Putting the Desert Warrior Back Together Again.
/0 Comments/in Mexico, North America, Travelogue /by allanThe Darkcyd Racing Team’s Desert Warrior, a custom-built off-road racing vehicle designed to endure perhaps the toughest race on the planet—The Dakar—sat at the team camp at Estero Beach just south of Ensenada. Unsure if the Desert Warrior, made by well-known British builder Rally Raid UK, would be able to run in the 2011 Tecate […]
